Happy Independence Day!
What's everyone doing to celebrate the 4th of July? Going to any parades? Cookouts? Fireworks?

It goes pretty much unnoticed where I live.

Re: Happy Independence Day!
i don't celebrate this 'holiday' for two reasons. first it's isolationist and stands contrary to the collective dependency that all countries should share with each other. second, to even suggest that i celebrate this day is criminal and I'll have nothing to do with your treasonous acts against the king. in fact u Americans should all be thrown in prison.

Not sure, but I think Benedict Arnold Day is coming up soon in the UK.

Re: Happy Independence Day!
He was a revolutionary war traitor. He didn't get promoted and his wife blew all his money on parties, so tried selling the US Fort West Point in exchange for money and a new command. This was foiled, he fled to the British, and then he razed New London to the ground. Died with broken promises from the English in the UK in 1801. And West Point is the most important US fort outside the Pentagon now. I'd say more important than the gold in Fort Knox.
